Upcoming retcon and break!

So. The last couple of weeks have been unprecedentedly busy and chaotic for me. That's mostly because I had to divide my attention between:

• The production of the second audiobook
• Trying to get the mess with the pricing and distribution of the first audiobook sorted (Still not fixed)
• Editing book four
• Preparing for Comic Con (only to get a fever the day before from Covid, and ending up spending the whole weekend in bed, unable to attend...)
• And of course, keeping up with scheduled posts and regular chapter production

And I have to admit, it's been a bit much ^^'

The last thing I want is for the quality of my writing to suffer as a result. 

I recently received some reader feedback on book five. In response, I asked for suggestions, and received some really good ones. So, I've decided on doing some editing from Chapter 188 onward and retcon the changes in. I'm deliberately being vague about what I'm planning so as not to spoil anything, but I feel like it'll be a real improvement to the plot and the book overall. 

I'll probably try to do the initial changes next week, and do a separate post about the retcon. I'm not sure if I'll get all the little subsequent edits done, but I'm going to try.

However, adding this on top of my packed schedule, means that, for the first time in three and a half years, I'm falling behind on my writing. I do have some buffer, and good hope that I'll be able to catch up again soon, but it's still annoying and kinda stressful.

One thing I've concluded as a result, is that I'm going to need a month off. 

Specifically, the month of July. We've already got two trips planned for that month, and I think it'd be good for me to just... not work for a bit. Recharge.

It will be the first time in three and a half years that I don't upload weekly chapters. To be clear, that means there will be no new chapters on Patreon for the month of July.

Now, I have to say, I don't quite know how to handle this in regards to you guys. ^^'

Ultimately, I've decided to leave it up to you. If you want, you can unsub at the end of June, I won't hold it against you. If you're too late and would like a refund, that's also no problem, just shoot me a message. 

And if you'd like to continue supporting me over the break, that would of course be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

H.C.
